Chapter 411 Harassment
On the vast plains of Nilan Territory, the vast sky sets off the vastness of the earth.
Adam rode on a tall horse, wearing heavy armor. Behind him, the Blue Whale Heavy Knights led by him, the metal of the armor flashed a dazzling light, and the fully armed soldiers behind him formed a surging iron stream, heading towards the heart of Nilan Territory.
He looked into the distance. The broad plain was shining with a faint golden light under the sunlight, and a few hills were located on the plain not far away. The wind blew gently, bringing a hint of fresh air.
However, Adam was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery. He asked the knight next to him mysteriously:
"Do you think there's something strange here?"
In response to his strange question, the knights around him understood that their masters were just showing off because they had nothing better to do.
A knight asked cooperatively:
"Sir, our march was smooth and we didn't encounter any strange things."
"Humph."
The corners of Adam's mouth rose slightly with a hint of disdain, as if he thought the knight's remarks were too stupid. He shook his head, but his eyes remained firm, as if he was relying on his intuition to see every detail around him.
"You don't understand this. It's because we are so smooth that I think this is so strange."
After that, he pointed to the hills that were vaguely visible in the distance. The hills looked particularly quiet under the sunlight. Adam's eyes flashed with vigilance:
"Everyone get ready. I'm sure there must be a Midlan army ambushing us on the hills in the distance."
"what?"
The knights looked at each other, but still listened to Adam's words, and the whole team slowed down.
As the army slowly approached the hill, the air around them seemed to freeze, and a tense atmosphere enveloped everyone present. At this moment, several figures suddenly flashed from the edge of the hill. The soldiers held crossbows and quickly pulled the strings, pointing directly at the Yoda army.
"careful!"
A knight shouted a warning, but it was too late.
"Whizzing--"
The arrows rushed towards the knights below like hungry birds of prey. The knights hurriedly raised their shields, but one of the arrows still hit the horse of the Blue Whale Knight accurately. With a "hiss!", the horse's leg was instantly hit by the arrow. The horse struggled in pain and finally threw the knight to the ground.
Other arrows hit the knights' armor and shields mercilessly, making clanging sounds. However, most of the arrows did not cause any substantial damage, only leaving some slight scratches on the armor and shields.
After shooting the arrows, those people did not choose to take advantage of the situation to attack again, but ran backwards quickly. Within just a few seconds, they disappeared on the hill.
"Don't panic!"
Adam's voice rang out in the chaotic atmosphere, instantly attracting everyone's attention. He quickly stopped several knights who took the initiative to attack, and then said directly:
"These people appeared on the hill without riding horses, probably to lure us over. I am sure that there must be many soldiers ambushed on the hill. Once our cavalry goes up the hill, the enemy on the opposite side will launch an attack, and the losses will surely be heavy."
The knights looked at each other in bewilderment. At this moment, a young knight raised his hand and asked:
"Then sir, what should we do?"
Adam took a deep breath and responded calmly:
"What else can we do? Take a detour!"
Seeing that the Yoda army was changing its route, a soldier from Nilan on the top of the mountain put down his telescope and said to the soldiers around him:
"These guys actually didn't fall for it, but they did change their route. Now they have to take a long way."
One soldier replied:
"Isn't this exactly our goal? To harass Yoda's main army, forcing them to take more detours, and at the same time to kill their scouts, so that they will be hesitant during their march. This way, the civilians in the rear can buy more time to retreat."
"Once they have walked a distance, we will attack them from behind and make them get as far away from Nilan City as possible..."
Not far behind Adam's army, Bosgod led the Purple Rhino Knights at a rapid gallop, trying to catch up with Adam's army in front. Suddenly, dozens of silver lights flashed behind the hills in the distance, and then a team of knights in silver-white armor rushed towards them.
"Captain, there are enemies!"
A knight shouted to the Persians ahead:
Bosco took a glance and immediately became alert. He quickly raised his left hand, tightly grasped the long-handled battle axe, and shouted loudly:
"Turn around!"
The knights in the rear responded quickly, and their horses' hooves roared as they rushed to the left, as if they were a herd of rhinos running wildly.
The two knights collided almost instantly, with a loud noise like thunder, the sound of metal colliding and the sound of horses' hooves pounding. Bosco quickly swung the long-handled battle axe in his hand to block the lance of an enemy knight wearing a wolf-head helmet. The strong impact almost made him lose his balance.
But Bosco reacted quickly, gathered strength again, and chopped down with an axe. The sharp blade cut through the air and hit the enemy knight's breastplate. The knight was a step slower to react and was knocked to the ground by the axe in an instant, blood splattering everywhere.
The battle intensified during the charge, and Bosco quickly shuttled between the horse's hooves and the armor, constantly fighting with the knights on the opposite side. However, after the first round of charge, the tragic scene on the battlefield seemed to be beyond his imagination.
Before his eyes, there were corpses lying everywhere, blood dyed the ground red, some horses were struggling in the blood, and others were running away from the battlefield. However, to Bosco's surprise, most of the knights on the opposite side survived, and they were not wiped out as he expected. Instead, his Purple Rhino Knights suffered more heavy casualties.
Bosgod shook off the blood on his battle axe, looked at the knight in the distance, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It's really fun."
Compared with these knights, the previous Midland knights were just a bunch of chickens and dogs, and could not be compared with the knights in front of them.
Just when he was about to lead his men to charge again, the knights on the opposite side suddenly turned their horses around and galloped away into the distance.
"Captain, let's catch up quickly, otherwise they will get away!"
A young knight said impatiently, his eyes filled with passion for battle.
However, Bosco interrupted him by shaking his head decisively.
"The purpose of these knights must be to lure us away."
He calmly analyzed:
"We have wasted too much time here. We must quickly catch up with Adam's army to prevent him from doing anything stupid again."
